Email 1 — Initial pitch

Subject: Sponsorship in [Newsletter name] — [X]% open rate, [niche] audience

Hi [Name],

I run [Newsletter name], a [frequency] newsletter for [audience description]. [One sentence on credibility — subscriber count, notable readers, or results].

Quick stats:
• [X] subscribers, [X]% avg open rate
• Audience: [specific profile — e.g. "SaaS founders and marketing leaders"]
• Recent sponsors: [names if any, or "bootstrapped creators and B2B tools"]

I'd love to explore a sponsorship for [their product]. A primary placement runs $[X] and typically drives [X] clicks based on recent campaigns.

Happy to send sample issues and audience demographics. Would a 15-minute call this week work?

[Your name]
[Newsletter name] · [link]
